“Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.”

“In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.”

“Hatred is an affair of the heart; contempt that of the head.”

“It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”

“Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.”

“When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it. It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance. Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor are they what they seem to be. They are what they are.”

“Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and can't control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible.”
